Sorry about not responding about the "boosts" earlier. I just didn't come on the site for about 2 days. The last 5-7 radiation treatments are boosts that focus only on the site of where the tumor was (and the rest of the breast is "done" and can start to heal). This always encompasses the site of the incision too as this area is the most likely place for recurrance because it is different and chemo does not penetrate that tissue well due to lack of good circulation.

Best regards

Becky
